Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for performing interworking of a standardised wireless communication network, particularly but not limited to a WiMAX network, and a standardised cellular network, particularly but not limited to a 3GPP or 3GPP2 core network.
  • the present invention also relates to a network element for use in interworking of a standardised wireless communication network and a standardised cellular network, such as a WiMAX network and a 3GPP/3GPP2 core networld, respectively.
  • the present invention relates to a communication system comprising a standardised wireless communication network including at least one base station for connecting of at least one user equipment and a standardised cellular network operatively connected for interworking with said standardised wireless communication network, as well as to a computer program product for use in an interworking communication system of the above-mentioned type.
  • Standardised networks i.e. standardised wireless communication networks and a standardised cellular networks, such as Wireless Microwave Access (WiMAX) networks and 3 rd Generation Partnership (3GPP) networks, respectively.

Additionally, unuseful IPSec requires additional CPU performance in both the terminal and the network, thus leading to increased cost expenditure.

  • said Tunnel Initiation Request is indicated by means of horizontal arrow RFC 2868.
  • TTG 8 then sends a Packet Data Protocol (PDP) context activation message to GGSN 9, as indicated by means of horizontal arrow PDP in Fig. 1 .

  • said marked service flow 13.2 is received and detected among a totality of received service flows 12.2, 13.2 by receiving means 7a and detecting means 7b, respectively.
  • said marking of a service flow over the radio link as "3GPP service flow" intended for mapping to the 3GPP network 3 can be achieved in a variety of ways: Preferably, Global Service Class names as described in specification IEEE 802.16e may be used.

  • TTG functionality is extended to enable additional tunnel signalling and data tunnelling with respect to standard TTG functionality.
  • this can be achieved by suitably devising said means 8a for establishing an inter-network tunnel with WAC 7 comprised in TTG 8, preferably by providing corresponding program code sequences thereto.
